Sadly is seems that young low time incompetent pilots really do not effect the crash statistics in the airlines. The airlines have such a tight, redundant and efficient system that real skill isn't that important anymore. Personally I feel that you could take a guy off the street and in 90 days of rote memorization and repetition could effectively serve as an FO. That is mostly how the military operated in WW2. All a guy needed to know was how to take off and land. Everything else like MX, navigation, radio ops and leadership was handled by support staff. Direction and training was given en route to the next mission. Lately in the regionals it seems that we are heading that way.
